From Wikipedia

Artume (also called Artemisia, Aritimi, Artames, or Artumes) was an Etruscan goddess who was the mistress of animals, goddess of human assemblies, and hunting deity of Neolithic origin. She was a daughter of Tinia and Letun, and she had two siblings: A brother called Turms and a twin brother named Aplu. Her Greek counterpart was Artemis and her Roman counterpart Diana; however, Etruscans later appropriated the Greek goddess Artemis. Aritimi was also considered the founder of the Etruscan town Aritie which is today the Italian town Arezzo. Artemisia also appears to be the name of a particular vampire in Italian folklore, but it is unclear if this is connected to the Etruscan goddess.
